LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 Announced

Wood meets brick.

UPDATE: A Warner Bros. press release has announced that the game will be released on November 17 for PS4, Xbox One and PC, with a Nintendo Switch version to follow in time for Christmas.

The story will see heroes and villains from across Marvel dimensions taking on Kang the Conqueror, and will feature the new hub world of Chronopolis.

New characters will include Cowboy Captain America, and the game will also include a four-player competitive battle mode

Warner Bros has announced a sequel to LEGO Marvel Super Heroes on the game's Facebook page.

A small teaser trailer for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 shows a LEGO Baby Groot - who recently featured in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 - running through an explosive brick world. The 16-second peek concludes with Doctor Strange levitating beside the logo before announcing that the full-length trailer will be available to view on May 23.

The original LEGO Marvel Super Heroes scored a 9.0 review from us for its great visuals, story and the 155 strong character list not including DLC. Of these characters, Doctor Strange was on the roster in the original game and unlocked after completing a side mission, whereas Baby Groot is a character we will be seeing for the first time in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2.

For now, we will just have to wait until May 23 for more news on this LEGO Marvel sequel.
